Chapter 4091 — Miss Situ
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Half a day later, [Wei Zhao] finally came groggily awake—and the place the carriage had reached gave him a great shock. They had already come near the edge of the mountain forest, a stretch of land wholly unfamiliar to him!
[Wei Zhao] frowned inwardly. He could vaguely recall that before losing consciousness he had been fleeing for his life at breakneck speed and was already close to the edge of Mount Hucai Tianwu. From the look of things now, they had likely long since left the bounds of Mount Hucai Tianwu—he could not even find their present position on the mission map the North Island Cultivators' Guild had given him.
And to [Wei Zhao]'s knowledge, once one left the mountain forest entirely, only two possibilities remained: one was to return to North Island, and the other was to enter Middle Island.
But judging by the surrounding terrain, [Wei Zhao] had not the faintest recollection of it, and it could not be matched to the map's route at all. That is to say, the direction this party was traveling was very likely not North Island, but Middle Island!
[Wei Zhao] had only just come to when Miss [Situ] received word, and came in person to [Wei Zhao]'s cart. In that honeyed, bone-melting voice of hers, she asked, "My name is [Situ Qian]; I am the mistress of this party. Tell me, who are you? How did you come by such grievous wounds, and in a place as dangerous as Mount Hucai Tianwu?"
"Many thanks to Miss [Situ] for saving me. I am [Ling Yi], a lone cultivator of North Island. I came to Mount Hucai Tianwu on a mission and was set upon by spirit beasts..." [Wei Zhao] answered without betraying a thing.
Though he guessed the other party very likely had ulterior motives, he had no intention of leaving just yet. After all, his wounds had only just begun to heal, and he had no idea where he was; from the look of it, the map was now utterly useless. If he were to get off halfway, even with the Heavenly Thunder Pig, he would likely have a hard time finding his way back.
After all, the Heavenly Thunder Pig's innate gift was for finding treasure, not for finding the road.
"Oh, I see." [Situ Qian] showed no suspicion. She nodded, then suddenly leaned forward and struck a pose of such temptation as to make a man spurt blood. "I've heard people say there are no female cultivators on North Island. So—do you think I'm beautiful?"
[Wei Zhao] was slightly taken aback, somewhat at a loss. Measured by ordinary eyes, this Miss [Situ] had a figure worth having and looks worth admiring—she was a rare stunner of the mortal world.
And yet there was a lewdness in [Situ Qian] that seemed to seep into the bone, which [Wei Zhao] found rather unpleasing—it even made him involuntarily think of another woman of a very similar air, [Murong Zhen].
And if it came to true beauty, this [Situ Qian] could not even begin to compare with those girlfriends of his in the mortal world. Even his little, little, little, little, little wife, [Bingtang Xueli], could have left her several streets behind.
Still, no matter what, this woman had just saved his life. Had he not run into this party and been left lying unconscious in that forest, who knows whether some passing spirit beast would have eaten him. (To be continued..) R752
